In a recent interview, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime confirmed that the NES Classic Edition has sold 2.3 million units since going on sale five months ago. “We just didn’t anticipate how incredible the response would be,” said the Nintendo of America executive, adding that “once we saw that response, we added shipments and extended the product for as long as we could to meet more of that consumer demand....
But the ante has been upped for Wednesday’s matchup. Starting on the mound for the Rays will be the hard-throwing, dynamic, young southpaw Shane McClanahan. Opposite him for the Yankees will be “Nasty” Nestor Cortes, a crafty lefty building off a breakout 2021 campaign. The two starters are among the seven starting pitchers in Major League Baseball with sub-2.00 ERAs midway through June and find themselves entrenched in the conversation for the American League Cy Young....
As with many online streaming services, Netflix offered a free trial to let you use the service in the hope that you’d love it and keep paying. The company required credit card details to use the free trial and would automatically charge you for the next month after the 30-day period. It’s not clear why the UK has been picked to end the free trial incentive. Maybe Brits were too canny at signing up every month for the free trial with a different email address and then cancelling before the first payment....
The series capitalizes on the childhood concept that the “floor is lava.” If you used to climb around the furniture in your home to avoid touching the “lava” floor, you’ll probably be great at the game, which takes the idea to new heights. Adults face a series of obstacles in a lava-filled room and have to get to the other side without falling in. It’s harder than it looks, and the show boasts some pretty epic falls....
The streaming giant has acquired the rights to Jere Longman’s book, “The Girls of Summer: The US Women’s Soccer Team and How It Changed The World.” Liza Chasin (Darkest Hour, Baby Driver, Love Actually) will produce the movie, along with Hayley Stool and Ross Greenburg. President and CEO of the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup Marla Messing, Jill Mazursky, and Krista Smith will serve as executive producers. The 1999 Women’s World Cup is seen as a transformative moment in the history of the women’s game, with the USWNT packing stadiums all over the country that summer....
We’re going to compare Netflix against Disney+ in a range of categories like price, catalog, and device compatibility to see which comes out on top. Netflix vs. Disney+: Movies and TV Shows According to What’s on Netflix, Netflix has over 6,000 TV shows and movies available in the US. That number changes constantly as new things are added and others are removed due to expired licensing agreements, but you’re bound to find lots to enjoy, no matter your genre preferences....
Forget teen haunt Xanga and college-student staple Facebook. Online social networking isn’t just for youngsters anymore. Of course, only 1 million of the more than 215 million social networkers regularly active today are older than 50. But by the end of the year that number could explode to 20 million, says a new study from global analysts Deloitte, due out later this month. Silver surfers could prove to be an even more coveted online group than their teenage predecessors....
Beginning this fall, the networks will broadcast parental advisories before excessively violent programs and send similar warnings to newspapers and magazines that carry TV listings. (The most likely wording: “Due to some violent content, parental discretion advised.”) As a pre-emptive strike, the announcement accomplished its mission. Many in Congress, roused by the soaring tide of prime-time gore, have been threatening federally imposed reforms. Some of those restrictions however, would surely raise howls from First Amendment guardians, which may explain the almost palpable “whew” with which lawmakers greeted the networks’ voluntary action....
Other astronomers had more interest (and fewer viruses). Working from the observations made by Jim Scotti of the University of Arizona, who had first spied 1997 XF 11 through the 36-inch telescope atop Kitt Peak on Dec. 6, two Japanese amateurs drew a bead on its trajectory: it swings around the sun once every 21 months, and in 2028 would come within 500,000 miles of Earth. That was close enough to land it on the list of potential doomsday rocks–the 108 PHAs....
United’s hopes of securing a top-four finish in the Premier League suffered a major blow as they lost 2-0 at Emirates Stadium, with second-half goals from Granit Xhaka and Danny Welbeck making the difference. But Mourinho had made eight changes for the game with the second leg of his side’s Europa League semi-final tie against Celta Vigo on Thursday in mind, and Neville feels the Arsenal match was simply an inconvenience for the manager....
Still to come is Red Faction: Armageddon and its movie tie in being developed for release on Syfy, Red Faction: Origins. Both were originally set to release in May 2011, presumably together, but Armageddon has since been delayed out of the month to June 7, 2011. Origins was also expected to have a May release, but it was announced a couple weeks ago that it would see release on June 4, 2011 to coincide closer with the release of Origins....
Despite the seemingly never-ending fury over the Mass Effect 3 endings, it’s easy to forget that (somewhere) gamers are happily still enjoying playing other fan-favorite titles like Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. Despite mixed reactions to the game’s storyline (which also featured an, arguably, underwhelming conclusion), Uncharted 3 delivered plenty of fun for PS3 players and went on to sell over 3.8 million copies on day one alone. After most people played through the campaign, they quickly found a competent and enjoyable multiplayer as well as co-op components that, due to a lot of post-launch DLC, has managed to stay fresh five months down the road....
While the game has yet to have its own dedicated Nintendo Direct, Nintendo is still trying to drum up the hype. To capitalize on the growing anticipation for New Horizons’ upcoming release date, Nintendo has just unveiled a brand new Switch design and bundle for the game. The bundle comes with a unique carrying case, two brand new Joy Con colors, and a custom Switch and dock design. RELATED: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Pre-Order Rewards Players with Cute Gift...
Many of the current Apex Legends characters are not available in the mobile version, but eventually, that’ll be vice versa. It’s been known for some time that Apex Legends Mobile would feature exclusive content, including characters. This was really proven at launch when Apex Legends Mobile added Fade, and now it seems another exclusive character has leaked. RELATED: Every Apex Legends Character Without An Heirloom It should be noted that Apex Legends seems to be quite the leaky ship, with several characters being recently leaked for the Apex base game....
Until this season, bats were frequently made from reinforced carbon fiber polymer. The problem was that as they were used over time, the bats actually sent balls farther and at higher speeds — sometimes called the trampoline effect. Under a new bat performance standard from USA Baseball, bats in 2018 are now built to act more like the wooden bats used in the majors — less ping and less pop....
In Belarus, unauthorized demonstrations were previously punishable by fines or short stints in jail ranging from a few days to two weeks. Now, Lukashenko hopes to punish his detractors and discourage future protests with new penalties of up to three years in jail. Belarus captured the world’s attention last August when at least 500,000 people participated in months of protests against Lukashenko’s reelection to a sixth term, an outcome largely seen as rigged....
One topic that has been frequently discussed by fans it the new scorestreak system in Black Ops Cold War. Aside from its unique economy, fans will also have access to some familiar streak options from Black Ops 4. Still, a complete list has yet to be compiled as slowly pieces of various streak opportunities are leaked out by community members.

Zouma is one of the hottest prospects in France with the young centre-back having impressed heavily for St Etienne and French boss Didier Deschamps has suggested that he could be in line to be France national captain one day. A host of clubs around Europe were interested in taking the talented defender away from Ligue Un, but Zouma claims a personal phone call from Mourinho was all it took for him to make up his mind to move to Stamford Bridge....
As has already been discussed by CD Projekt Red, the trio of options is Nomad, Street Kid, and Corpo, with each offering a vastly different version of V for the prologue. The trailer details exactly how these stories differ, offering a bigger insight into why each version of the character decides to embark on Cyberpunk’s story and leave their vastly different lives behind.
